11th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment

[1] The regiment lost 8 officers and 80 enlisted men killed in action or who later died of their wounds, plus another 4 officers and 253 enlisted men who died of disease, for a total of 280 fatalities.

[2] The Regiment's officers included Angus R. McDonald (1832 - 1879) of Mazomanie, Wisconsin, a native of the isle of Eigg in Scotland's Inner Hebrides.

MacDonald was the last direct descendant of Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair (c.1698 - 1770), who is widely considered, along with Sorley MacLean (1911 - 1996), to be one of the two most important writers in the history of Scottish Gaelic literature.

Daniel B. Moore of Company E was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for saving Lt. McDonald's life during the Battle of Fort Blakeley on 9 April 1865.
